<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Posted for Lisa Grove <[log in to unmask] Question I'm extremely sensitive to gluten ingredients, and have been successfully drinking Lactaid milk for a while (lactose intolerance as well). I recently bought Lactaid "Calcium Enriched" milk by mistake - the carton looks almost identical to the regular Lactaid milk. I decided I'd use it anyway. I've been struggling to figure out where my sudden gluten symptoms were coming from, and I finally isolated them to the "Calcium Enriched" milk. When I went back to the regular Lactaid milk my symptoms disappeared. Some people wrote to say they have symptoms with other added ingredients that were in the milk I reacted to, but not in my usual milk ... guar and added calcium. I'll be watching for these in other foods to see if I have problems with either of them! One person asked if I'd verified the gluten free status with the Lactaid manufacturer. I have not, but I did look at their website, and didn't find info about gluten there. Here are pertinent replies: Some milk bottlers are now putting guar gum into their skim and 1% milk since some people apparently complain that the milk is "too thin". duh? Altho guar has no gluten, some react to it w. gluten-like symptoms. It's amazing, but we now have to check the ingredients even of our milk! Could be something else, unless they changed the ingredients since I last bought it, which I admit, has been several months. I used the calcium enriched variety for many years, with no reaction and negative biopsies. I would have reacted by now, if it was gluten. But then, ingredients change. I cannot tolerate the added Calcium. I do not do well with any Calcium supplements. My Mother's Internist said that many folks do not tolerate Calcium.........that is not naturally in food. Just a thought...it might not be gluten, but the calcium?? I return any Lactaid milk that is picked up accidently that is Calcium fortified. My belly hurts too bad with it. I have the same problem with calcium enriched Orange juice I believe it was Minute Maid or Tropicana. We are very careful to use the Original Minute Maid now. *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List* Archives are at: Http://Listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?LIST=CELIAC
